Show-Me Showdown 2027 Shooting Guards/Wings

Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the top Class of 2027 shooting guards/wings from last weekend’s Show Me Showdown in Chesterfield.

Will Powers Will Powers 6'2" | SG Westminster | 2027 State MO (Gateway Knights UA): A 6’2″ guard from Westminster who can get you a bucket from just about anywhere. He’s tough enough to drive it and score through the contact. He moves well without the ball to come off screens to hit perimeter shots. He flows well within the team concept.

******

John Hawkins John Hawkins 6'4" | SG St Louis University | 2027 MO (Gateway Knights): A 6’5″ wing player from SLUH who was one of the most impressive perimeter shooters that I watched during the weekend. He moves well and reads defenses to get to the open spots and he is shot ready.

******

Hudson Bock Hudson Bock 5'11" Palmyra | 2027 MO (Tri State Select): A 6’0″ guard from Palmyra who is an impressive shooter from 3-point range. I like how he was moving and playing very effectively without the ball on offense. He will be stepping into a bigger role next season for the Panthers with the graduation of his All-State brother Bear Bock Bear Bock 6'3" | SF Palmyra | 2024 State MO .

******

James Aydelott James Aydelott 6'1" | SG Timberland | 2027 State MO (Hardwood Elite): A 6’1″ guard from Timberland who has a nice shooting stroke from 3-point range. He is a solid ball handler who can also make good decisions as a playmaker.

******

Wyatt Slay Wyatt Slay 6'3" | SG Principia | 2027 State MO (Gateway Knights UA): A 6’3″ guard from Principia who displayed a sound all-purpose game. He shoots the ball well from 3-point range, but he also used his size and strength to take smaller guards inside on mismatches. He was active on defense, where he had good instincts and made some nice rotations.

******

Darrell Crump ( Team Ramey EYCL): A 6’2″ guard from Westminster who has good strength and athleticism. He attacks the basket well with strong takes and floaters and he can also knock down open 3-pointers.

*******

Ayden Lemons ( Team Ramey ): A 6’0″ guard from Marquette who has a smooth offensive package. He has three-level scoring ability and the handles and creativity to get his own shot off the dribble.

*******

TJ Cason (Illinois Orange): A 6’2″ guard from O’Fallon (IL) who seemed to be everywhere with his high energy style of play. The young southpaw has length and athleticism and he put both to use with his quick jump on the offensive glass, his defensive intensity and all-around hustle for loose balls. He is also an excellent slasher on the offensive end.

******

Kellen O’Keefe (Hardwood Elite): A 6’4″ wing player from Lindbergh with good length and offensive skills. He has some nice handles, which he uses to create off the dribble with a shake-n-bake move. He gets into the lane for a bucket or a nice feed to an open teammate.
